Learn Coffee With Gwilym #1: Coffee Distribution

ARTICLEJanuary 11, 2015

Our first video is about coffee distribution. How do we properly distribute ground coffee falling from the grinder into the filter basket before tamping it. To have a consistently even extraction without ‘channelling’ you need a technique that distributes the coffee evenly throughout the filter basket, leaving a flat and level surface. Then you can tamp. This video looks at what distribution is and how to do it effectively and consistently.
